Okonomiyaki, aka Japanese Pizza
Every month on the 1st Friday, Selnate has a Student Food Day where students would bring food from their own countries. They would bring all the ingredients and demonstrate how to cook it in front of everybody. They also give out recipes so you can go home and try it yourself.
Today happens to be Japan Day. So two of my Japanese students showed us how to make Okonomiyaki, a Japanese style pizza. The word Okonomiyaki means "favorite food" in Japanese. And indeed it was, in Rachel Ray's word, YUMO!!
the "crust" is a mixture of flour, water, cabbage, and green onion. You can add any topping you like: shrimp, squid, octopus, rice cake, beef, pork, chicken... the sky is the limit :-)
